What device protects system against lightning strikes but does not protect against Sags and brownouts?
It's true that a surge protector would protect against surges like those caused by lightning strikes but would do nothing to help with sags and brownouts. To address both high voltage (surges) and low voltage (brownouts) you would need an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). A UPS provides clean current by powering your computer from the battery while simultaneously charging the battery from the electrical supply.

Yes it can. In fact, if your computer and modem are both plugged into an UPS you may be able to continue surfing during a power outage. It will also protect the modem from power line surges and brown outs that could otherwise be destructive. Many UPS have jacks to plug the telephone line in to protect against surges on the telephone line (phone modems) but typically don't have protection for surges on cable.
